QS funds new school in Cambodia

In 2017 Quadstar began a partnership with the charity, United World Schools (UWS), supporting its mission to transform lives through education. UWS works in some of the world’s poorest regions to give every child access to a free education, with the aim of reaching 50,000 children by 2020. UWS was set up by Chris Howarth, a volunteer, educational consultant, who started off building a small community school in northern Cambodia. A decade later, UWS is providing an incredible 20,000+ children with life-changing educational opportunities across Cambodia, Nepal & Myanmar. Having been inspired on a donor trip to Cambodia in November 2017 to see more of UWS’s work and impact for himself, Nick Butcher committed QS to construct and provide ongoing support for a brand new school in the village of Krang Chek, in SE Cambodia. After a successful construction period, Krang Chek School was officially opened at the end of April this year.
